On April 26, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers fought a humiliating game, and they were actually won 11 games in a row by the Nuggets, and the three major sinners had nothing to hide, but James was by no means the first one.
This game was really a shameful game for LeBron and the Lakers, leading the Nuggets in the first half, and leading by double digits at halftime in three consecutive games, only to be caught up and reversed by the Nuggets. Who do you say you blame for this game? Do you blame Coach Hamm alone? One reversal is the coach's pot, and three games in a row are overturned, and it is obviously unreasonable to blame only the head coach, and we can't throw all the blame on him.
Take a closer look at the sinners of the Lakers' game, how to divide them? The biggest problem is Hachimura, it's really not Russell, this Hachimura is responsible for defending Jokic, he can't prevent Jokic at all, forget it, the plus/minus is the lowest in the whole game -12. He only scored 5 points, didn't score a single shot in the open position, and he came up when the Lakers lineup played its worst.
Especially in the 4th quarter, it was because he couldn't prevent Jokic, and the team didn't dare to let him go at the critical moment, the best time the Lakers played before, that is, Zhan Mei and Hachimura had to be on the court all the time, and now because he pulled his hips, the coach was forced to use a three-guard lineup, and the three guards lost Dinwiddie crazy points, Reeves and Russell couldn't prevent any of them, and he pulled his hips and caused Ham to be forced to change formations, and he was the first sinner.
The second sin is Russell, who was isolated by the Lakers, and Shuila has begun to disobey the coach's tactics and sit next to him to eat. We all saw this shot, which means that Russell knows that the fight is not good, and he has no face. said that he would assist James, but now he can't assist Emperor Zhan, he was booed by his fans for 7 shots, because he didn't hit any of them, this must be the second sinner, don't abandon him, who do you say will be abandoned next?
The last one to blame is James, look at what Zhan Huang said after the game, he was interviewed after the game, he had no smile on his face, and said bluntly: "This Nuggets team is too strong, this is one of the strongest opponents he has ever faced in his career." "I directly said that they can't beat the Nuggets, not because they can't do it, but because the Nuggets are too powerful, and he always encounters this kind of dynastic team. There were Spurs and Warriors before, and now there are Nuggets, so there is no way.
Another reporter asked him: "Is your Lakers execution now not comparable to the Nuggets?" James responded meaningfully: "You'd better ask this question to everyone, I can't judge my teammates, I don't know what they will say." The meaning is already obvious, he thinks that there is a problem with execution, and the coach's tactics may be arranged, but they can't be executed, but Zhan Huang doesn't want to be this bad guy and doesn't want to criticize his teammates by name.
In addition, he also emphasized that now all this is only about basketball, and the implication is that they can't beat if they lose, don't talk about their dishes if they lose, don't talk about their historical status off the court, and so on. So if you throw the pot on James's head, it will definitely not work, listen to this interview with him, you will understand, he thinks the Nuggets are better than the Lakers, there is nothing to say.
And he also gave a death order, the 4th game must have the belief that he must win, he must win, he also knows that he should not win in the 3rd game, he is not the worst one, but he is obviously one of the players who does not play well enough, and sometimes he is really unwilling to defend, he likes to fork his waist, Gordon cut a career-high 29+15 on his head, James wants to shirk the responsibility, of course he can't.
But obviously Hachimura and Russell have to be abandoned in the next game, James has to defend well, and Ham has a lot of people to change, even if you start Vincent Prince, it won't be worse than now.
